That's the rumor. Criterion has allegedly lost the rights to Head.

I bet it will go OOP then soon enough! I'm holding on to my box set.

If that is the case, they will probably release The Last Picture Show and The King of Marvin Gardens as standalone releases this year.

Does anyone know whether or not Pan's Labyrinth comes in a standard plastic blu-ray case or is it a cardboard digipak? I'm deciding whether or not to buy the trilogy (even though I have the other 2 films) or just the stand-alone release. I'd prefer it is in a plastic case so it matches the other 2 releases.

I'm 99.9% sure that it's in a plastic case.

Jimi and Monterrey Pop and been a paired boxset since nearly their release so it makes a nice combo for $62.50. That's a hair cheaper than I bought all 5 items for across a bunch of sales and coupons.

The Hitchcock 4 I paid around $55 as they were released so those boxes as hard to beat the price. The quality of the item makes it all the better

Agree, but I could not wait for The American Friend. I got Jimi Plays... in July B&N sale...

Damn. Wanted Short Cuts and Dekalog. They don't usually go back into stock during the sale, huh?

Not a pro in criterion flash sale but my impression is "unlikely"

More specifically...

Criterion hasn't said a single word regarding the status of the set. A rumor was going around about them losing the rights to Head. This rumor gained traction when Five Easy Pieces was given a separate release, and this separate release included a documentary about BBS that had originally been on the Head disc in the set. About a year later, Easy Rider was given a separate release, which further fueled the belief that the BBS set was going to go OOP.

My suspicion -- and I emphasize that it's just my suspicion, so salt to flavor -- is that Criterion did indeed lose the rights to Head, but was allowed to keep selling already-manufactured copies of the set for as long as they had them in stock. Once the stock is gone, I'm guessing they won't be able to press more, and the set will be officially OOP.

I ended up buying 3 movies during today's flash sale which also gave me free shipping.

Pan's Labyrinth
Blood Simple
The New World

Not that B&N has a stellar track record with stock levels lately.
